Love Signed Away the One Hundredth Time Chapter 9
Knowing he was gone, I was finally relieved.His problem was not my concern. I didn't care about the Kennedys' fate.A month later, I was celebrating a successful exhibition with Jedediah when my phone buzzed with Craig's long message.He admitted his wrongs, acknowledged my suffering, and explained his actions stemmed from fear of losing me. Looking back, he called them laughable.At the end of it, he pleaded for my forgiveness.[I won't bother you again. I just hope you're happy and don't hate me.]I read calmly, typing: [Our bond is dead. The past is water under the bridge.]Sending it, I exhaled deeply.I'd never forgive him. His best apology was staying out of my life.Craig read my reply, collapsing into his chair. His phone slipped from his fingers and fell to the ground.The pain in his heart wasn't an illness. It was his penance.After a long time, he came to his senses and opened the drawer stuffed with divorce agreements.The top one, my final signature taped hap

Craig sat through the night, consumed by regret.He posted a confession on the Kennedy Group's website, admitting he'd forced me to post those vile statements, brought women home to torment me, and abused my trust.The internet exploded.Trolls who'd attacked me flooded my inbox with apologies. Kennedy Group's stock crashed, but Craig didn't care.He posted daily apology videos, hoping to find me and beg for my forgiveness.Across the ocean, I was thriving, my art earning acclaim, those three years a fading scar.My inbox suddenly overflowed with messages. They irritated me.That past wasn't my choice, and I didn't need apologies. I wanted it erased.And I didn't want to see Craig again. We should forget about each other.But his obsessive online apologies mirrored his old stubbornness. Some, moved by his remorse, revealed my location.After a class, I stepped out of the studio and froze.Craig stood there, looking much thinner and gaunt. His eyes that had once been full of

"Sir, even killing them won't change a thing," Mervin said bluntly. "Without your indulgence, they wouldn't have dared touch Mrs. Kennedy."He'd witnessed my humiliation and tried to intervene, but they'd used Craig's name. Craig's leniency made them fearless."You resented her for toying with your heart," Mervin continued. "But you never investigated what happened. She didn't know the wine was drugged. After you passed out, she fought back but was knocked unconscious and injected with an aphrodisiac. You never gave her a chance to explain. If your grandfather knew how you let emotions blind you, he'd be heartbroken. Think about it."Mervin left, closing the door.Alone, Craig's face was ghostly pale. He'd refused to listen, convinced I'd betrayed him. His stubbornness caused his loss.His trembling hands opened his laptop. My social media account, still pinned, stared back.The degrading posts he'd forced me to share were gone, but the hateful comments had grown. Screenshots of

Mervin's words were calm but devastating.Craig's pupils contracted, his mind reeling. He recalled my unnatural calm that day.He'd thought I was manipulating him and playing for money. Now he saw I'd lost everything, hope included."Why didn't she call me?" He froze, remembering Mervin's words.I'd called countless times, but he hadn't let anyone reject my calls. Whenever my name appeared on the screen, he'd answer, no matter what.There was only one exception. He'd left his phone with Lucia during a meeting. She'd said I called briefly, and then my line was dead.He'd assumed I was sulking, but those calls were my final plea."Bring Lucia here," Craig said, his voice a brewing storm.Moments later, guards dragged her in, her face a mix of confusion and fear. "Sir, what's this about?"A sharp slap rang out as his hand struck her cheek.Lucia clutched her bleeding lip, stunned. "Why are you doing this?"He stared deadly at her. "When did I tell you to block Michele's calls?"

Craig waited a day and night, calling endlessly, but I never responded.Instead, he received the contract that destroyed the Moore Group, stained with my parents' blood.The terms were brutal, causing a cold sweat to break out.My parents had 24 hours to raise 500 million dollars, or lose their core technology and assets. For Craig, it was just a number. For the recovering Moore Group, it was impossible.My signature marked the agreement, and the counterparty bore the Kennedy Group's seal.Craig didn't recall ever authorizing such a document. He'd hindered the Moore Group but always aimed to help them recover. In time, they'd have thrived.He had no idea what had gone wrong."The Moore assets are liquidated, their company dissolved," a subordinate reported."Find her!" Craig's fingers crumbled the contract. "Whatever it takes, bring Michele back."He rushed upstairs, hoping I'd be hiding as I once did, but my room was empty, save for my phone on the table. His voicemails becam

I turned to see a kind, surprised face.It was my mentor in college, Jedediah Kemp.When my marriage to Craig was announced, he'd opposed it, calling me relentlessly. He didn't attend the wedding.Unable to explain my family's coercion, I let him drift away. Now, he was my only elder.My eyes welled up, my voice trembling. "Professor."Tears broke free, years of suppressed grievances flooding out."Don't cry," he said. "My daughter bought your drawings. Michele, do you want to continue your studies?"His eyes held the same encouragement as years ago. I nodded, tears falling.Had the crisis not occurred, I'd have gone abroad with him for my first art exhibition.We handled the paperwork and waited at the airport.At the Kennedy Villa, Craig paced the living room, agitated. "Still no sign of Michele?"The butler shook his head."Find her! Keep looking until you do!" Craig's voice was sharp, his usually calm eyes wild with panic.Lucia, wearing my nightgown, draped herself ov
